<p>You storm the room with the Librarian and the powerful warcasters of the nation of Cygnus. It was a fight that the two of you would never have been able to win alone and despite the presence of Iron Liches and even a Lich Lord of Cryx you leapt into the fight. Leon interrupted the ritual, slaying one of the casters standing in the circle and disrupting their harmony as they struggled to remove him. They had little reprieve as Aurora's blade bereft another of its unlife. </p>
<p>The battle was titanic in its intensity, lightning scorched the walls of the chamber and runic symbols abounded as the air literal shook with the power being released in this very room. However the battle was nowhere near one sided as even the Cygnissian warcasters fell to the might of the Iron liches of cryx who were led by none other then Lich Lord Terminus who's eyes burned with balefire as he spotted you two. </p>
<p>As you both battled to kill more of the casters and reduce them to shattered bones he cackled with mad glee and raised his hand as if beckoning forth to something. It was then thatyou both felt it... As if your entire being was being shook apart at the seems, that overwhelming loss of control as your will was being torn from you once more. A figure stepped out of the chaos, its movements sure and its walk confident as it approached you both. The Librarian, seeing your distress tried to intervene but was held off by three iron liches that were bombarding her with ancient magic the likes you had never seen. </p>
<p>The figure smiled in a familiar way and your spirits cried out in despair. The <i>Master</i> was alive! You had little time to ponder as he spoke and you both nearly groveled at the ominous tone in his voice. <b><span class=tiny>"I hope your taste of freedom was enough, as you won't be free <i>again</i>. I think this time i'll take her as mine. AS for you..."</b></span> He stepped towards Leon and drew a black sword. Leon wasn't able to cry out as the master stabbed him through the back with his black blade, it emerged mere inches from his heart as the Master laughed in amusement. <b><span class=tiny>"Can you feel it? The despair of being able to do <i>nothing</i>. I remember you tried to kill me in a similar manner. It is a great pleasure to return the favor."</b></span> With that he twists the blade, making ever muscle in Leon's body cry out in pain and yet Leon still could not. Or would not, ever, show weakness before the twist vampiric master.</p>
<p><b><span class=tiny><i>"End them! Finish the ritual, NOW!"</b></span></i> Terminus screeched as a lance of lightning slammed into his army and brought the might Lich Lord to his knees, rack forming in his glss elm where his floated bout madly looking around as the Warcasters held their own against the endless tied of undead pirates, Lich Lords and other cryxian abominations.</p>
<p>The Master wrenched the blade out of Leon and wiped it off on his back mockingly before ending him. <b><span class=tiny>"A pity you couldn't watch what I do to your precious lady next, hehe..."</b></span> You <i>know</i> he is licking his lips in anticipation for what horrible fate he has instore for your partner before he continues speaking. <b><span class=tiny>"Perhaps I will keep your skull as a reminder for her. Perhaps tethering your miserable soul to it for eternity!"</b></span> With that he raises the blade, both hands on the pommel as he prepares to bring it down two handed into your back and pierce your heart.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc><b>Aurora</b></span></p>
<p>The Master's eyes hardly leave you as if he were undressing you mentally as he taunted and wounded your beloved Leon. His mental control kept you from doing little more then watching him with wide eyes. However when he stabbed Leon you felt as though a part of you broke free and your eyes drifted to the Skyblade as its internal workings started to hum louder and louder, our armor started to grow warmer as it too started to react to whatever the Skyblade was doing.</p>

<p><b><span class=tiny>"<i>Interloper</i>... Tis perfect a name for thine dead one."</b></span> The stag headed one barked as he stomped forward threateningly.</p>
<p><b><span class=tiny>"That is <i>enough</i>..."</b></span> The bark woman's words carried the weight of command as the stag headed one glared daggers at Cassian, Flaring his nostrils angrily before turning away and stomping off into the flourishing forest ahead of you. </p>
<p>The pair of women, at least you think the are women watch you momentarily before the bark covered one speaks once more. Obviously pondering your response as she takes your hand in her own. Her bark covered fingers being to smoke and blackened after a few moments of contact with you skin. She waves you forward. <b><span class=tiny>"Follow us, but touch not or removing your outer skins."</b></span></p>
<p>As she turns the wispy woman flitting about in the air above shot off ahead with a delighted laugh, the laughter reminded Cassian of faint chimes in the wind. It was a warm and cheery tone that left him feeling nostalgic. For what he wasn't certain as her departure brought with a large rush of wind, carrying the smells of cinnamon and mint that left his head spinning with its potency.</p>
<p>The bark clad woman never raised her feet from the ground, seeming to slid along the surface and merging then splitting away from each plant, soil or rock in her path as she glided over each obstacle. The ground gave way to you as you moved forward, receding from you as if you were a fire burning a path through this lush forest. </p>
<p>It was a matter of several minutes of traversing the land, which not a single road or pathway appeared to disturb this verdant place. The bark clad woman moved with purpose, never slowing lest you stopped to look at something and then she waited with the patience of a stone. Stoic and observant of your actions. After what seemed hours you arrive in what could only be what they called home.</p>
<p>A massive tree, its roots forming a great roof above you and its massive branching providing much needed shade as it sprawled out for what seemed miles above you. It was the largest tree you had ever seen in fact you saw where clouds winded their way through its branches and more of the air woman danced and flitted in the air far above you. </p>
<p>More of the bark like woman's kind were among the roots of the tree, going about their business, lounging lazily or tending to the trees massive roots. They were made up of various elements, some were bark like here, stone clad, dirt and even mud. It reminded you of ancient beings called Dryads that once existed supposedly in the old world, Forest Tenders, Fey tricksters, many names were given to the fairies that supposedly once existed in ancient times and not all the names or legends were pleasant ones.</p>
<p>Standing at the base of the tree she waved her hand towards it as she spoke. <b><span class=tiny>"I have thought of what you spoke of and none of it is known to me but I have ever left the 1st world since my creation. But your aura reminds me of something in my youth, something I had nearly forgotten out of not wanting to remember that horrible time..."</b></span></p>
<p>She escorts you, amid all the stares you were now getting from the inhabitants of the tree, to the center of the tree itself, deep in its roots where the path was lit by faintly glowing rocks and fungi. <b><span class=tiny>"Here life never ends, it perpetuates indefinitely, spreading across the realms and preserving the wheel for every generation to come. However..."</b></span> Her voice cuts off as you walk into a central chamber of natural stone, stalactites and stalagmites where a watery pool sits at the center. Here the stag headed adonis was waiting and the wispy woman from before as well along with another addition who was lighting the room with her very presence. </p>
<p>Made competely out of water a large blue shard sits in the center of her chest, pulsing like a heartbeat and emitting a pale blue light as she looks towards you from the center of the pool of water. She was like a waterfall when she moved, the water that made up her form falling to her feet before surging back up her backside and repeating its continuous fall. None of the water splashed or sprayed surprisingly keeping her form as she approached you. She walked around you, shrinking down to your height as she swirled around you and looked you over. Her voice was like a babbling brook as she spoke, it was hard to understand her words at first but you managed to catch onto her accent. <b><span class=tiny>"Is this the it of which you speak you two? One who cannot touch the land without harming it?"</b></span> All three nod and the water formed female moved back to the center of her pool far quicker then before, dissolving into a swift moving puddle of water before reforming in the center of the pool. <b><span class=tiny>"It is obvious it is not from here. Its connection to the land is severed, or mayhap it never existed. I needs to commune with the land on how to attend to this issue. See to it it touches <i>nothing</i> lest it sever those it encounters."</b></span> Without pausing for a moment it dissolves once more causing not a single ripple in the pool clear water in the center of the room. </p>
<p>The three are quiet for a moment before the stag headed one rises to his hooved feet. <b><span class=tiny>"Tis your problem. Thou shalt deal with thine interloper, tis a mote of corruption and I shant have part if it severs another realm..."</b></span> He storms off in the opposite direction of you and the bark clad woman then leaving you with the woman dancing in the air. She floats more lazily down here, looking almost tired as she floats about the room. She gives you a tired smile as she floats close by. <b><span class=tiny>"Ignore him, it is time of rutting for his kin and he is ill mannered because he can't take part. Not all can live as freely as we air nomads~ So what nomad are you? I have never heard of these things you speak of. Elven TEmples, Tranquil Leys. These are new to me..."</b></span> Her form dissolves and reforms just in front of you before she slowly dances away with a gleeful expression on her face. <b><span class=tiny>"Something new, something old, something fresh. If it is not from this land then where is it. How does the land breath, does it uplift or does it crush downward!"</b></span> She ends her cavorting with a more tired expression then before.</p>Cassian
"Interloper... Tis perfect a name for thine dead one." The stag headed one barked as he stomped forward threateningly.
"That is enough..." The bark woman's words carried the weight of command as the stag headed one glared daggers at Cassian, Flaring his nostrils angrily before turning away and stomping off into the flourishing forest ahead of you.

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Alright Time for some restarting, prepare to get on the Railroad train!</span></p>
<p>The Mistress of Gears is good on her word. Among the remaining priests of Cyriss she finds just enough of them, prying most out of stasis chambers, and instructs them into aiding you all as you needed. It's shocking to discover that it only takes a crew of nine to fully man the ship.</p>
<p>You spend the next four days resting and are allowed nearly total freedom within the walls of the battered temple. You find that sections you had passed through before have split and the entire temple appear to have shifted off its base some as the power fluctuations caused all sorts of havoc with its internal stability. However as the Crissian's worked diligently it was only a matter of a two days before power was on throughout the structure. </p>
<p>With Power came the return of basic functions and more marvels that left Mir speechless. Especially when Bera was taken to a room and a few hours later returned with a leg made of metal, it vaguely resembled the one she had lost in the fight but it was just as useable and allowed her full range of movement. Much to Bera's delight.</p>
<p>Ginla is taken somewhere else and placed under observation, which her sisters allow without any sort of defiance. The pair appear almost lost without her now...</p>
<p>Aucturn, the strange female demon creature that had fought the Thoon so valiantly remains in a coma and placed in the same room as Ginla. It's blade appears to eye everyone warily with its bloodshot and singular eye.</p>
<p>The two mechanical priests martial several robotic monstrosities and march them to the final destroyer with several score of Cyrissian priests in full battlegear. They load the last floating <i>Destroyer</i> and depart for places unknown...</p>
<p>During this initial startup the Formian Queen, Sylandra, commanded her followers back into the hive below. Where they set about clearing the debris of the battles past and returned the hive to a semblance of normalcy. Ant was at her side the entire time and by the third day eggs began to appear within the colony below the Tranquil Ley...</p>
<p>On the third day SIL's observation was revealed and Mir was invited as she gave what information she could...</p>
<p><b><span class=tiny>"Based off limited ability to penetrate the Ley Lines flow I conclude that Cassian is on a different plane of existence. Absorption into the Ley Line was caused by the extreme discharge by the core where upon his remains were not destroy but transported entirely into what lay within the Ley Line. Unless he finds a way to return we cannot recreate this event without the possible overload of the central Core. In Conclusion. Cassian is lost to us until another act of god or phenomenon grants him the ability to return."</b></span></p>
<p>MOG appeared unsatisfied by this result but SIL silenced her completely with a simple shake of her head, shifting the scores of hoses and assemblies that were attached to her body. <b><span class=tiny>"Mistress, no matter how many times you wish me to run logic or reason reports the results will be the same. Cassian is beyond our reach, Cyriss taught us how to tap the Ley Lines. Not how to enter them, to do so would be to discover the beginning. The primordial energy that grants life to everything. All we can do now is start where we left off and continue forward until a time we can touch the Ley Lines without annihilating ourselves."</b></span></p>
<p>MOG turned to Mir and nodded to her. <b><span class=tiny>"It appears Tyrn Jade will be remaining here with us and you and your fellow chosen are free to leave. The Destroyer is yours and you may do with it as you see fit. A word of caution though, I am unable to spare enough personnel to fully compliment it but as transport it will be far faster than your own two feet, that I can assure you. It runs off the energy of the Ley Lines and so long as it remains on this world it's power is inexhaustible. Now... Is there anything else I can do for you?"</b></span></p>Shining Sea party.

She turned to V. <b><span class=tiny>"Assist the Ibixian Chosen, Bera. Do whatever you must to repair her."</b></span></p>
<p>She was about to speak but was stunned when some of the soldiers that had fought for the temple vanished. The british soldiers were each disappearing into motes of light, leaving nothing behind but fading boot prints in the dusty floor. </p>

She looks to Mir as she extends a hand. <b><span class=tiny>"I have met few Nomad's and if these sisters are willing to stand by you than I look forward to our talks later. For now its time for rest and recovery. I am sure we will have company soon enough."</b></span></p>
<p>She looks to Tyrn and Queen Sylandra. <b><span class=tiny>"V is right, it is not a time to be fighting, our enemy is legion and this world has forgotten us. If you wish to leave than do what you believe is best for your... People. But the ancient hive is your domain and this remains your home if you wish it."</b></span> </p>
<p>Sylandra nods deeply and mog returns it like two great leaders only could. Sylandra turns to look at Tyrn her voice centered on him alone. </p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>She tilted her head as her long antennae felt for the wrinkles of an aged human and surprisingly found a younger man instead.</p>
<p>Ant stood tall, recovering his three blades and sheathing them as he looked prepared to defend his Queen once more.</p>
<p>The two priests recovered, standing up as Mog gave orders. She looked to the winged Mechanical Priestess and arched an eyebrow. <b><span class=tiny>"Good to see you Aurora. Be so good and ready the operating room for him. No questions? Good."</b></span> She dismissed her with a glance as she looked to the other Priest. <b><span class=tiny>"Ready the Destroyers. Its time we prepped for an attack. how many can you control?"</b></span></p>
<p>He bowed as he responded. <b><span class=tiny>"I can controll thirty at most, I will prep our last Destroyer Mistress of Gears. The Chosen have claim to one as of today."</b></span></p>
<p>Her eyebrows rise a fraction as she turns towards Tyrn, Bera and Mir. <b><span class=tiny>"You work swiftly. Treat it well, I find pilots to accompany you on your journey."</b></span></p>With the energy dispersing Mog returned to controlling the situation, a calm settling over her as she looked at the White Queen in a new light. She turned to V. "Assist the Ibixian Chosen, Bera. Do whatever you must to repair her."
She was about to speak but was stunned when some of the soldiers that had fought for the temple vanished. The british soldiers were each disappearing into motes of light, leaving nothing behind but fading boot prints in the dusty floor.

<p>V shook his head before Mog could demand an answer as to How. <b><span class=tiny>"I have no more answers as to what or how only that the Formian's prove more... adaptive than we realized. But I think this is an opportunity to foster a strong alliance don't you agree?"</b></span></p>
<p>The White Queen Sylandra was about to speak when a <i>Thrumm</i> pulsed through the room, so much so that the very walls shook with the growing vibration. The Formian's reacted instinctively alongside the Cyrissian's, throwing the Chosen to the floor moments before another pulse slammed through the room. This time the temple itself was shaking. </p>
<p>MOG remained on her feet, moving towards the controls of the temple core before nearly being blown off her feet by the second energy pulse.</p>
<p><b><span class=tiny>"The Ley Line is stabilizing, we need to relieve energy or it will backlash."</b></span></p>
<p>V looked at her, his shock evident as he spoke. <b><span class=tiny>"Everyone will see it MOG..."</b></span></p>
<p>She reached the controls and started moving dials and levers as she smirked. <b><span class=tiny>"Precisely. Besides, we have little choice..."</b></span></p>
<p>She turned a dial and the <i>thrumming</i> began to worsen to the point that everyones ears started to ache. The British soldiers were gripping their heads, writhing on the floor as she continued to crank the unseen dia on the controls. When the final click occurred the pain stopped and the thrumming died down to a low vibration once more. The lights in the temple no longer flickered and were now a solid comfortable brightness which banished away nearly every shadow...</p>
<p>=========================================================================== =</p>
<p>A light unlike any other pierced the night sky for hundreds of miles. For some who witnessed this event they thought that a new sun had been born while others new the light for what it was.</p>
<p>The dead eyes of the Cryxian warcaster, leader of the advance expedition looked upon the temples distant light with the trace of nostalgia. <b><i>"Finally, they reveal themselves. I tired of these mongrel races and their weak ability to entertain me."</b></i> He waved a metal hand and several Thrall Lieutenants stepped forward. He spoke to them in a clicking and hissing language and in a few short words each were nodding in assent before moving off into the night. </p>
<p><b><span class=tiny><i>"I hope they prove to be more entertaining..."</b></span></i> He cackled in delight and picked up a lantern that writhed with a noxious green smoke. The cries of the trapped souls within made his dead smile grow wider.</p>
<p>=========================================================================== =</p>
<p>Closer to the temple the last of the Ibixian tribes muster their warriors and prepared to face whatever darkness had taken control of the PLace of Sadness, to protect the world from its horror's once more...</p>
<p>=========================================================================== =</p>
<p>Panic reigned in Koollat, the citizens feared what this strange column of light meant for their people. Had a new enemy? A Greater enemy? Finally revealed itself? Were they doomed to extinction?</p>
<p>the Beleghtor barely maintained order as rioting occurred beyond the sections of the city they controlled, causing them to fight the ancient guardians of the High Ones remains and incurring countless losses...</p>
<p>Kel'der'druinidin was able to finally rein his people in with words of encouragement that only his booming voice could deliver, his voice soothed the angered guardians as well and helped turn them to return to their silent watch in the outskirts of the ruined high one city. </p>
<p>The light to him was a sign of hope, hope that an ancient ally was rising from its slumber. Or at least the promise of a new tomorrow if he had to crush them and take their strength for his people...</p>eBefore much more could be said a voice rose above the Queen and Mog's own.

<p>Mog gritted her teeth as she glared at the Queenher gauntlets still crackling with electricity. <b><span class=tiny>"We will not submit, not when our restoration is so close at hand."</b></span> She forced herself to her feet and stood staring up at the Tall Queen as the insectoid leader continue to heal the Immortal injuries. </p>
<p>Ants chest was a single piece once more and now the queens hands were sealing the broken chitin with her palms, a bright energy pulsing from each hand as she continued to look towards the defiant Mog.</p>
<p>The Queens voice boomed in eveyones mind as she spoke directly at Mog.<i><b><span class=tiny><span class=messageboard-bigger>:Submit. I want nothing more then to take my brood and go.
